Exercise 21
The following tasks are required to assemble an alarm clock radio. The assembly line would like to achieve an output of 40 finished radios per hour. The following tasks are required to assemble an alarm clock radio. The assembly line would like to achieve an output of 40 finished radios per hour.   a. What takt time is required to achieve the desired rate of output? b. What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations required to achieve the desired rate of output per hour? c. Use the longest operating time (LOT) heuristic to assign tasks to workstations. d. What is the efficiency of the line balance you determined in part c? e. What is the balance delay of the line balance you determined in part c? a. What takt time is required to achieve the desired rate of output?
